The reason why the old man took away the whole plate of crabs was mainly to take revenge on Zhao Danqing, a foodie. When he got the pheasants back, this guy laughed at him for a long time, and even used to tell stories to blackmail him. He will never forgive him.
Who would have thought that this guy would turn around and indulge in himself. And he really didn't eat enough. The crabs made by Jiang Xingchen were so delicious. They were just like real crabs. They were enjoyable to eat and there was no need to peel the shells.
"This Hundan must be intentional. He had finished eating a long time ago and left a piece of it waiting for me to come back..." The muscles in the old man's face twitched, and he wanted to rush over and give this guy a blast.
At this moment, the kitchen door opened, and Jiang Xingchen returned to the room with Mei'er, holding a bowl in his hand.
"Brother, this egg custard is really delicious. You should eat it all quickly!" Meier started talking as soon as she entered the room, and her eyes deliberately looked at the old man and Zhao Danqing.
"Okay!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, scooped out a piece of golden, jelly-like custard with a spoon, put it into his mouth, and showed an expression of great enjoyment.
The old man's eyes were immediately attracted and he stared at the bowl in Jiang Xingchen's hand. The anger just now was long forgotten.
The same was true for Zhao Danqing, his eyes were shining, his nose was twitching constantly, and he murmured: "Smells, it smells really good!"
"Boy, what are you eating? The egg custard is..." the old man said and came forward.
"Brother! What kind of new way is this? Let me see..." Zhao Danqing also ran out from behind the table.
But as soon as the two of them came closer, they saw that there was only the last bit left in Jiang Xingchen's bowl, and he was scooping it up and bringing it to his mouth.
"No...no more!" The two of them watched the piece of custard disappear, and Gulu swallowed his saliva.
"Isn't it all gone? Isn't there still some soup here? It tastes very good!" Jiang Xingchen smiled, raised his neck and drank the last bit of soup in the bowl.
"Want to eat?" Jiang Xingchen put down the bowl and smiled at the two of them.
"Yeah!" The two nodded vigorously.
"Actually, this egg custard is the new way to eat it! I originally thought that after finishing the crab race, everyone would try it together, but it's a pity... you won't be able to eat it in the future!"
Jiang Xingchen looked at the two stupid people with pride, and led Meier into the inner room.
"Oh my God, I knew that this little Hundan was the most insidious, and he must have been the one to take action in the end. Who knew there was a custard!" The old man was about to cry without tears. Although he took away a large plate, he didn't even know that
I ate enough, and I got greedy twice in a row. The most important thing is that I didn’t taste the new way to eat wild pheasant eggs.
Zhao Danqing was also unhappy. He only grabbed half of the second plate, which was not even enough for him to eat. He was so greedy now that he wouldn't make it in the future. This is ridiculous...
Jiang Xingchen, who was halfway through, suddenly turned around and said with a faint smile: "Are you unhappy?"
"Nonsense!" they both yelled at the same time.
"That's right! If you are unhappy, I will be happy. Happiness is indeed based on the pain of others!" Jiang Xingchen smiled again and led Mei'er into the inner room.
"Ouch!" The old man and Zhao Danqing shook violently. They were so shocked by Jiang Xingchen's words that a mouthful of blood spurted to the roof.
"Old man, I'm all blaming you! If you hadn't snatched away the whole plate of crabs, Brother Jiang wouldn't have done this!" Zhao Danqing turned his head and said loudly.
"Boy Zhao, stop talking nonsense, didn't you also steal the second set?" The old man's eyes widened.
"If you don't take the first set, can I take the second set?" Zhao Danqing retorted loudly.
"If you hadn't laughed at me, could I have taken the food to retaliate against you?"
"Can you blame me for this? You really looked like a pheasant back then!"
"I'm Ci'ao, I'll beat you to death, you little bastard!"
"You don't want to hear the story anymore..."
Jiang Xingchen listened to the quarrel outside. He felt comfortable all over his body and said, "Let you rob me, hehe!"
"Brother is so bad, leaving the last two to eat them!" Meier covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Little girl, don't gloat over others' misfortunes, we haven't settled matters yet!" Jiang Xingchen thought of Mei'er's slip of the tongue just now.
"Ah!" The little girl's face turned red again, and she trotted to the bed inside. She picked up the big baby and curled up in the corner.
Jiang Xingchen didn't move. Somehow, he remembered the last time he spanked the little girl, and a strange emotion arose in his heart.
"Don't think about it. She is a sister, so you can't think about it..." Jiang Xingchen tried his best to suppress his strange thoughts, but those thoughts were like weeds, unable to be suppressed at all, and kept coming out.
In the end, Jiang Xingchen had to bite the tip of his tongue hard, and the severe pain made him feel a little calmer.
"Brother! Are you angry? Is Meier just making a joke on you... Otherwise, I'll let you hit me twice!" Meier walked off the bed again at some point and came to his side.
Jiang Xingchen glanced at the red-faced Mei'er and felt that the thought was coming out again, so he quickly took a deep breath.
"Brother, don't use force, it hurts!" Jiang Xingchen was about to calm down, but suddenly became agitated again because of Mei'er's words.
"Little girl, brother is just joking. How can I be willing to hit you? It will hurt you!" Jiang Xingchen tried to control himself, then drove the little girl to bed and said, "Go to bed quickly!"
"Brother, won't you stay with Mei'er tonight?" Mei'er took Jiang Xingchen's hand.
"You have grown up, and you can no longer let your brother accompany you!" After saying that, Jiang Xingchen pinched the little girl's nose, turned around and walked out of the room quickly.
Mei'er looked at her brother going out, pouting her lips and frowning her eyebrows. Ever since the weather got hot, her brother had never slept with her like before. Although she knew that her brother's actions were right, she still felt sad in her heart.
It's just uncomfortable.
Outside the door, Jiang Xingchen took several deep breaths in succession, and the cold air calmed his restless heart.
"Young girl is my sister, you can't have random thoughts!" Jiang Xingchen shook his head vigorously, trying to convince himself that he didn't want this family relationship to change.
But thinking deeply, there will really be a man who wants to take the little girl away from him in the future...
At this time, he just stopped thinking about this issue as before and stopped analyzing it in depth.
Early the next morning, the snow had stopped. The convoy set off. When the old man saw the safe wild pheasant, he was so shocked that he almost couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. He kept asking Jiang Xingchen how he did it, but where could he get the answer?
Everything returned to the way it was before. The old man and Zhao Danqing continued to play chess as if nothing had happened last night.
Jiang Xingchen and Meier were sitting in the carriage as usual, playing chess or telling stories.
However, only Jiang Xingchen himself knew that he had a strange thought buried in his heart.
On the way, the old man got wild pheasant eggs several times, and wanted Jiang Xingchen to make crab racing and egg custard again. But Jiang Xingchen accepted the wild pheasant eggs but did nothing, which made the old man and Zhao Danqing depressed.
Jiang Xingchen, on the other hand, used his vitality to feed the wild pheasants every day, making them more and more docile.
On the third day, just as he was about to arrive at the Star Territory, Jiang Xingchen tried to loosen a wild pheasant to see if the taming of Yuan Qi had any effect.
But as soon as he let go, the pheasant didn't even hesitate and ran away, flapping its wings.
After this experiment, Jiang Xingchen finally understood that even if he had the energy, if he wanted to raise chickens, he couldn't just let them roam free. He had to enclose the land and trap them.
After understanding this, Jiang Xingchen immediately arranged for someone to buy a large amount of animal tendon thread.
On the evening of the third day, the convoy finally rushed back to the Star Territory. Since it was winter and the farm was busy, almost the whole village came out to greet them.
Before he could get closer, a small shadow ran over shouting.
Jiang Xingchen hurriedly called for the car to stop, jumped out, and picked up Nier who ran over.
The little girl is now six years old. She has grown a lot and is a little tight to hold, but she still looks cute.
"Sir, have you missed Nier?" the little girl asked in a childish voice.
"Haha, of course I have!" Jiang Xingchen smiled and scratched the little girl's nose and said, "No need to ask, there will definitely be something delicious for you!"
"Did you bring it back to Ni'er from Moon Shadow Kingdom?" Ni'er asked cutely.
"Bring it back from Moon Shadow Kingdom, it's not all broken... I'll make it for you tomorrow!" Jiang Xingchen said, putting Ni'er down, taking out two identity tags and handing them to Ni'er.
"Take these two to your father and Grandpa Fu, be careful not to drop them!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"Oh!" Nier nodded her little head and ran quickly towards the villagers who were walking quickly.
"Dad, Grandpa Fu, the lord has brought you a gift!" the little girl shouted, threw herself into Shi Wazi's arms, and handed over her identity card.
"This is..." Shi Wazi's hands were trembling a little, and he took the sign very carefully, only to see a big word "Shi" on it.
Grandpa Fu on the side also took the ID card in his hand and held it tightly, with hot tears streaming down his eyes.
Although they had known for a long time that they would be promoted to the nobility, when it came to this moment, they could not control their emotions. Their ancestors had been farmers for eight generations, how could they have imagined that such a day would come.
"Sir!" The excited Shi Wazi and Grandpa Fu looked at Jiang Xingchen who was approaching. Their knees softened and they knelt down in the snow. Everything today was brought about by the young man in front of them.
A year ago, it was this young man who could not even protect his noble status, who brought them back from the brink of death. Today, it was he who gave them an identity and status that they had never dared to imagine in their entire lives. They could not even find a word in their hearts.
to describe your gratitude.
"Sir, we..."
"Don't say anything! This is what you deserve... If the territory wants to develop, it's time to hire people. It's not just you, no matter who you are, as long as they are the people of my territory, as long as they contribute to the territory, I will never
I will spare you the nobility status! Scholar, lord, minister, and even title!"
The villagers' eyes had been red for a long time. When they heard Jiang Xingchen's words again, they felt that their whole bodies were full of motivation!
